By my accounting, it appears as though funding has dropped off* (dramatically) in the last few months – in dollar figures and deal count:

January: $358 million across 24 deals

February: $430 million across 25 deals

March : $118 million across 16 deals

April: $127 million across 19 deals

May: $179 million across 18 deals

June: $250 million across 21 deals

July: $132 million across 20 deals

August: $77 million across 10 deals

September: $55 million across 12 deals

(Total: $1.7 billion)

* except that whole SoFi round, of course

I don’t want to read too much into the decline. Some of it is my bookkeeping, no doubt – September’s numbers don’t include anything from this week, for example, because I haven't written this week's news roundup. (Sorry. I suck.)
